  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option containing phrases from the given sentence:
    I met a boy with red hair in Amsterdam.
    Solution
    Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects. 
    Using option C will justify all the above rules. 'With red hair' is a prepositional phrase as 'with' is the preposition and 'hair' is the object.
    Options A, B and D are not prepositional phrases. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable noun phrase:
    I've known her since years. She is ______. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    A noun phrase is a group of words containing the noun and functioning as a subject, object, or preposition of an object, in a sentence. In the given sentence, "a good person" contains a modifier "good" (adjective) and a noun "person", it performs as an object in the sentence; hence it's a noun phrase and option D is correct. "Going" and "travelling" are gerunds, when placed in the sentence they're not relevant in terms of context. Hence none of them are the suitable options and, A and C are incorrect. "Good" is an adjective, it's not a noun phrase hence option B is incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable noun phrase:
    She denied ______. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option A)stealing the jewels is correct as jewels is a noun here with gerund as a pre-modifier. The other options are wrong as a noun phrase cannot have a subject or a verb and must have a noun. The correct answer is A)stealing the jewels.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

    It was cold, so I _________ the door.

    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. The speaker performed an action in the past due to the reason "It was cold". Hence the verb is chosen in the simple past tense, as the action has been completed in the past.
    Option A: 'Shut' is in the simple past tense in the context of the sentence. It agrees to the sentence in form and meaning, hence option A is correct.
    Option B: 'Was shut' is also in the simple past tense, but it's in the passive voice whereas the given sentence is in the active voice. (The passive voice is when the subject receives the action, the active voice is when the subject performs the action). That not being the case, makes option B incorrect.
    Option C: Similarly, 'Am shut' is in the passive voice. Also, it's in the present continuous tense, whereas here the action is in the simple past tense. Hence option C is incorrect.
    Option D: 'Shutted' is not a word, it does not exist in the English language, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option to complete the dialogue.
    Do you need any help with your luggage?
    Solution
    Here, we have to find the best response to the given question. If a person asks whether we need help, we should always reply politely and be thankful for their concern/help Let's have a look at the options:
    Option B - 'No, I don't need your help' is a rude response. We should always thank others for showing their concern to help us. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'No, I'll carry it myself' is also a rude response. Even if we do not want their help, we must thank them for asking us. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'No, I don't believe strangers' is very rude. Even if it is a straightforward response, we must try to be polite and thankful for their offer to help. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'No, thanks. I'll manage' is the correct, polite and well-mannered response. This response shows that the person is thankful for other's help, however, he can manage it on his own. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the subject of the following imperative sentence:

    Shut the door!
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is an imperative sentence?
    Solution
    An imperative sentence gives a command or makes a request.

    Options A and D are incorrect as they are declarative sentences - not imperative. While option A makes a statement while option D gives an opinion. Option C, too, is incorrect as it poses a question, making it an interrogative sentence. Option B gives a command and hence is an imperative sentence. Therefore, option B is correct.
